Lost In Space

I have a little problem with Space NK. In as much as....I want everything in the goddamn joint. I try not to go in there too often as it's just too alluring. I've tried desperately to curb my urge for a little Diptyque treat for a while now. I even tried to tell myself that my sale candle from Zara Home would have to suffice in my bathroom. (So brave! So noble!) And actually, for £7, it's done a job. But, it's just not Diptyque, is it? So, last weekend I was browsing away, and the addictive headiness of my fave scent tuberose drew me in as per. So, I thought, sod it, and bought this heavenly candle. If you feel the urge to indulge similarly, get your rocks off here.

I also decided to give this Nars stick concealer a whirl. I'm normally quite happy with No.7, but having recently repurchased, I've got a sneaky suspicion they might've reformulated (dontcha just hate it when that happens?), so the hunt has started for a replacement. This one, so far, seems to have a good buildable coverage, although my colour choice 'Chantilly' may actually be a touch pale. See all the shades here.

I've also started a-gathering my sunglasses collection for 2014. I'm trying very hard not to buy any Karen Walkers or Celines so I've staved off my urge for the minute with this pair. Not sure it's working :)

Have you made any indulgent purchases recently? Lemmie know what you've been buying xx

Ain't Been Right Yet

At the weekend I excitedly took my new chain boots on their first outing, only to end up with severely mashed feet shortly thereafter. Man, these botines rip your feet up good and proper. I'm devasted, and very very blistered. Still, they look good and let's face it, that's what counts :) The rest of my outfit comprises my much loved Whistles sweatshirt, some Topshop skinnies from last summer and a textured coat from Zara. Hope your week is going blisteringly well (see what I did there). Catch you soon xx

PS Did anyone see 'Same Love' performed at The Grammys on Sunday? God, did I ever drop a tear, or several. Ben and Ryan are sheer geniuseseses.

Kinda Shady

When I bought this hat last Saturday I was instantly thrown into a styling meltdown. Do you ever start to try and construct a mental lookbook in your head the minute you haul something new? That 'Ooooh, I love what I just bought' seretonin buzz in my brain no doubt contributes to the gormless look I have on my face most of the time when shopping. Well, that's my excuse :) By the time I'd wandered from Oxford Street over to Pret on Cavendish Square to grab a Diet Coke *Standard Face* I'd decided to style-up an all grey outfit to go with my new purchase. This is how it turned out :) I can only apologise for my creased jumper and the general feeling that you've seen all these pieces before (you have). Catch you soon chicas xx

The Chain Gang

So. These boots. I've been contemplating buying them forever. I've tried them on at least five times over the last couple of months, and on each occasion I've told myself to be good and not buy any more black ankle boots. *Rubbish Self Control Face* But that Elle voucher was tormenting me. I just wanted to flex that MOFO before it ran out. (My sister always says to me 'Just because you've got a voucher, doesn't mean you've got to buy something'. I just look at her like she's mad, obvs). Eventually, after seeing Chiara F one too many times in her Givenchys, I just had to go for it. I'm thinking (hoping) that these dolls will go wayyy beyond winter wear and toughen up shorts and dresses in the summer. (*Doubtful Face* Have you seen these? I'm in love. Also on the hitlist: some Stan Smiths, some Adidas slides and god knows what else). There's quite a few chain-boot dupes popping-up all over the place, like, here and here and here. Or, if you wanna go reallllly close to the originals then get your KGs here. Wow, I've got link exhaustion! Catch you soon chicks xx

Whiter Shade Of Pale

So, while I was out and about searching for- you guessed it- a camel coat, I spied this lovely oversized beige alternative in River Island, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. It's actually more of a vanilla latte kinda colour than the pictures show but you can get an idea of the true shade from the linky. (Why is it either pissing down with the rain at the minute or streaming with bright low-level sunshine? God, my love, this is totes inconvenient to bloggers, could you sort it? Thanx, love B). But....wait...Stop.Everything. I've just seen this stunner on the RI website. Oh Lordy, I think this is The One. I feel a swap coming on :) 

Anyway, hope you're feeling the beige, but eyes peeled for the camel beaut in the near future! Catch you soon lovelies xx
